In other news, Korean Zombie is back, co-headlining against Akira Corassani in Sweden.

 

 

Also, the UFC has booked Paige VanZant vs Kailin Curran on the October 4th card.

 

 

Yep.

Jon Jones injured; Daniel Cormier fight moved to Jan. 3

[D. S. Veteran]

And that card just went from 1 million buys to 300K buys tops with Mighty Mouse as the Main Event. Also, Gus gets the short end of the stick as the fight was his to begin with and Cormier stepped in on short notice due to his injury.

Step in Conor McGregor to save the show, if he wasnt fighting on the same card then it'd definitely be a flop

Dominick Cruz is co-headliner. There is still plenty of time for him to get injured peeling an apple. Also, Green vs Masvidal is buried in the prelims for no good reason as Green's win over Josh Thomson puts him on the cusp of breaking into the Top 5.

lol, that's harsh... But yeah, he's probably the unluckiest man in MMA, if not professional fighting!

Reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter says he's 'coming after' wanted War Machine

Former UFC and Bellator fighter Jon Koppenhaver, more familiarly known as "War Machine", is currently wanted on 7 charges issued by Las Vegas authorities, including battery, domestic violence, and assault with a deadly weapon after a horrific alleged beating of ex-girlfriend Christy Mack.

There's a $10,000 reward for Koppenhaver's capture, and famed reality TV star Dog the Bounty Hunter has offered his services if he does not turn himself in within the next several hours:

Bellator signs Julia Budd and Marloes Coenen

 

Kind of odd since Bjorn destroyed every womens' division there was. 2 fighters don't make a division (and would be better suited in the UFC).

Heh Jones is scared of Cormier for some reason, seems the only reason for his actions

Heh Jones is scared of Cormier for some reason, seems the only reason for his actions 

 

What actions? Ubereem has a history of injuring training partners. Jones had some bad luck. Gustafsson is a much bigger threat to Jones than Cormier. Consider that Cormier is carrying around a bum knee (don't know if he'll get it fixed now that the fight has been postponed) and has fought Patrick Cummins and a totally shot Dan Henderson at LHW. If Shogun wasn't shot to hell as well, I would love to see him take a crack at DC before the Bones fight.

Krzysztof Soszynski openly talking about his issues reminds us that MMA is a serious sport.

Bellator releases lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez

 

YES!

 

I sure hope Dana gives him the same deal they offered him before (not likely at all). I'm going to be crazy and say that they should put him in against Khabib Nurmagomedov ASAP.

Eddie Alvarez to fight Donald Cerrone in UFC 178 co-main event

 

:woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:

 

 

Dem scratches!

[D. S. Veteran]

UFC 177 is completely melting down. Cejudo is off the card due to weight cutting issues and... Renan Bar?o as well. Joe Soto steps up to the plate to fight TJ Dillashaw. This is going to be a massacre.

[Kriz]

Ruined!

[D. S. Veteran]

Ruined!

 

 

 

Funnest fight of the night.

[Zoom7000]

Wow... Overeem certainly has fallen from grace. From a UFC title shot to not even in contention! He's now lost 3 of his last 4 and the 1 win was against Frank Mir who's lost his last 4! :|

Carano got noticed by Hollywood and is now putting her good looks into use. I doubt that she will return to MMA and risk all that getting smashed around for a much smaller payday.

Equal oportunities: if women want to fight, let them fight. They shouldn't be confined only to the kitchen. Gina Carano used her MMA career to make the jump into starring in B-Movies and TV with American Gladiators.

not equal unless men can also against women...just saying....I think well trainned women have more than a good enough chance for the title

BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cain is made of glass and therefore out of UFC 180.

 

Mark Hunt vs Fabr?cio Werdum for the interim HW title :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot: Oh lordie...

Did they actually officially announce it as an interim title fight? Regardless, this will still be an interesting fight. Mark Hunt says he has forty pounds to lose by then. Are you kidding me? Come on, big boy.

Yes, it's officialy an interim title fight. The card is falling appart at a record pace, but Werdum vs Hunt will hold it together (provided it happens).
